President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Yep. Everything else being said about it is debate-camp bullshit.

 

I don't even know what that is supposed to mean, other than that you like to wield the fact that I practice law like it's some sort of insult.

 

Republicans, for the most part, are so flabbergasted by Trump this week they haven't had time to tell us what Hilliary or Obama would have done. Uh, reacted decently?

 

Yeah, but some guy in Spain drove a vehicle into people, therefore Donald Trump is qualified, ethical and doing a great job.

 

Election laws in the South from the end of Reconstruction through the 1960s did not explicitly say "No coloreds allowed to vote." But everyone knew what the score was, not least the men who wrote, defended and enforced those laws.

 

What the hell you talking about?

Fucko never released his taxes. There is no proof he has actually paid ten cents in taxes. Other than his own word which can safely be presumed bullshit.

That's a bit more than a "loophole."

 

That's not what you meant to say, but you hit the truth with that typo.

 

What he "explicitly said," as usual, is bullshit.

 

In Trump's defense (first time I've ever uttered such nauseating words), I don't believe he thought he was alluding to Nazis in the statement.

I'm afraid the left is starting to overplay its hand (a longstanding bad habit) with some of the hyperbolic descriptions of late. This doesn't make a Trump a Nazi (as I've heard suggested), but it does make him an idiot. Honestly, I don't think ideology had nearly as much to do with his horrible handling of this as just narcissism and ignorance.

I think what was firstly in his mind is that it was dispute between 1) people who voted for him and praise him; and 2) people who voted against him and hate him. Trump's modus operandi his entire life has been to viciously attack those against him and heap praise upon those for him. And he just couldn't bring himself to break form by siding with people who hate him over people who like him--because everything to Trump is all about Trump.

And, as sad as it sounds to think we could have a president so ignorant, I get the impression that he doesn't fully understand just how appalling the word Nazi is to decent people; and that there's only one proper response for a politician to give about any dispute that involves Nazis: unconditionally repudiate the side the Nazis are on.

 

Not one person on that side wasn't a neo-Nazi or white nationalist. Not a single one.

 

He's going to win again.

He's going to win in 2020.

 

Oh for fucks sake.

Now we're toddlersplaining what the stupid dumb fuck was "really thinking" before he put his mouth in gear on live teevee.
